Key Features
THIS TOP VALUE ACCESSORY KIT INCLUDES: Zoom H5 4-Input / 4-Track Portable Handy Recorder - Zoom APH-5 Acessory Pack - Photo4Less Black Cleaning Cloth
FAST, USER-FRIENDLY OPERABILITY: The H5's front panel is ergonomically arranged with its most essential and commonly used controls—transport buttons for record, play/pause, stop, back, and forward operations, individual record-arm buttons that double as mute switches during playback, and large gain knobs. For added safety, a hold switch disables all front-panel buttons to prevent accidental operation during recording.
INTERCHANGEBLE STEREO MICROPHONE CAPSULE: Leave your external mics at home and travel light. The H5 is outfitted with Zoom's XYH-5 interchangeable stereo microphone that provides clear, phase-accurate capture in a classic 90° X/Y configuration for a tight stereo image. The matched unidirectional condensers are housed within a specially designed shockmount that employs rugged external mic wires and rubberized material to minimize vibration and handling noise.
RUGGED AND PORTABLE, HANDHELD OR MOUNTED: The rubberized, ergonomic body lends itself naturally to handheld use. Should you need to mount it on a mic stand or tripod, a threaded hole on the back of the H5 obviates the need for stand adapters. Obtain a hot shoe adapter (available separately) to attach the H5 directly to a DSLR.
